Hi all....can anyone suggest where I could find/purchase a lightweight but sturdy  2 (or more) ringed  electric stove.

I was thinkinging of getting one as a backup for heating up / cooking /keeping hot  extra food etc, when doing a large BBq. many thanks in advance ..Pete

We use our very old electric frypan for just the purposes you describe. It is very robust and just gets flung in the back of the car with everything else. Great for fry-ups, roast dinners, warming bread rolls, and especially, as you say, keeping food hot when BBQing.

They are not so easy to find these days but Littlewoods do them:

multicooker £40.00 Extend your warranty 1 yr. extra cover £7.00 Model: "48730". Ideal for frying, sauteing, braising and casseroling. Triple layer non-stick coating for healthy cooking and easy cleaning. Heavy gauge body with shaped heating element ensures fast, even heat distribution. Riveted cast stainless steel handles with non-slip inserts. Close fitting, polished stainless steel lid retains flavour and nutrients. Quick release, detachable power probe with variable temperature control. Thermostat control light. Fully immersible for cleaning (with quick release power probe removed). Heat resistant base, ideal for table serving. cat no : PJ1511

Hi all......many many thanks for the advice and suggested equipment, it is very much appreciated.

All we have to do now is decided between the Prestige Multicooker as suggested by BC and Jenhug  and the Electric hob as suggested by Skatty.

The pricepoint of the multicooker certainly makes it an exceptional buy and clearly, the fact that BC has had one and uses it for just the purpose that we want it for AND that it is still going strong after some time, is a very good recommendation. On the other hand,  the 2 ring hobb mayl give us more options re frying and warming etc.

Oh dear decisions decision LOL 

So willneed to  research the two possibilities tonight and make a decision . Once again sincerest thanks for the time taken and the suggestions given. A safe and wonderful holiday to you all.......we're off to France in about 4 weeks too...so cant wait .YIPPEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
